IT Asset Management with Application Control, Endpoint Compliance and Local Dynamic Password Management as Plugins

SUMMIT’s Application Control plugin helps organizations to enforce whitelisted software installation and execution to mitigate risk, enforce compliance with an operational approach and increase efficiency by managing IT software assets. Application Control provides an effective way to block installation and execution of unauthorized software on desktops and laptops which can be installed in Microsoft Operating systems*. Even though end users have local administrator access rights, SUMMIT’s centrally managed solution ensures that only authorized software (whitelisted) would be allowed to be installed or executed in the device both ‘on’ and ‘off’ the network.

SUMMIT’s dynamic built-in local administrator* account control module helps enterprises to dynamically create local admin passwords for Windows OS. The system generates passwords and stores them in an encrypted format in the password vault. Local admin passwords are validated regularly and reset at predefined times to maintain the integrity of the password vault. The Local Administrator account is a critical account that needs to be highly controlled to avoid any security breaches, which could lead to data theft and data loss.

SUMMIT Asset Management also provides Asset Portfolio Management capabilities designed to help IT teams manage their owned, leased or licensed technological assets better. It manages the links between assets, software licenses, leases, warranties and contracts to optimize entitlements and ensure compliance. It also tracks the total cost of ownership, chargeback and depreciation.
